Ingredients

7 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 ½ cups graham cracker crumbs (about 9 whole crackers)
3 tablespoons granulated sugar
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 cup powdered sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 container (8 ounces) Cool Whip
1 can (21 ounces) cherry pie filling

Method

1

Microwave the butter for 30 seconds or until melted.

2

In a medium bowl, combine melted butter, graham cracker crumbs, and sugar. Mix until evenly combined.

3

Press the crumb mixture firmly into the bottom of a greased 8x8-inch baking dish. Set aside.

4

In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.

5

Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract, mixing until well combined and smooth.

6

Gently fold in the Cool Whip until just incorporated, being careful not to overmix.

7

Spread the cream cheese filling evenly over the graham cracker crust with a spoon or offset spatula.

8

Spoon the cherry pie filling evenly over the top, spreading it gently to cover the cream cheese layer.

9

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving (overnight for best results).

10

Store any leftovers in the refrigerator.
